[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least once while we are visiting, MIL serves cheese, crackers (she doesn’t eat the crackers though) and cut up pears along with white wine for dinner.[/quote]

That sounds amazing, actually. [/quote]

I would eat this when I made dinner for just myself, but would never serve this to guests. Mayyyyybe if you added a big salad or a vegetable tray, but you cannot remotely expect people to make a full meal of this unless it was a light 6/7 p.m. dinner following, say, the full Thanksgiving spread at 2 p.m.[/quote]

Kids are not gonna be happy with some brie, stinky cheese and pear slices. Nor is my DH. He will wondering where his nightly meat course is.  For ladies over 35, it is the perfect dinner to nibble or even ignore. [/quote]

My parents (who are 69) did this for CHRISTMAS DINNER. And then my family (DH, me, and the kids) went out for Thai food. And basically, I no longer plan to visit them for Christmas. They are welcome to come to my house, which won’t happen. But man, you can’t “host” Christmas dinner and put out snacks. I don’t give a hoot whether the pears were from Harry and David.
